Is there an Inkscape user who has and uses a drawing tablet device available to test some fixes for 1.5? What we need is some testing on the smoothness of the drawing, it *should* be better than 1.4 and hopefully not break. Downloads are here:

Increase the input sample rate for the pencil/calligraphic/eraser tools from once per frame to whatever the input device allows, to allow for smoot...

to get them you click on the green checkmark and click your OS, and download the AppImage, 7z (windows) or dmg. Comment on the linked page if you can. Here is ok too. Thanks! #inkscape #wacom #gtk4 #gtk

Does anyone know what this is? I found it today nailed to the *inside* of a closet wall which is an outside wall of the house. Attached in such a way that it couldn't possibly have been put there after the house was built in 1873. It looks like Japanese print and seems to be wrapped and stuck into a sort of envelope. It was hanging vertically from the top beam and had been there for a very long time. As you can tell from the degradation. But what in the world is it? #mystery

I know this is for a car, but many a thing cried out at a command line. 😅 #git #programming #gitlab #mergerequest #foss #opensource

Duolingo is getting weirder and weirder since they went all in on #ai I stopped doing most of the lessons and just did a word a day as a keepie-up. But, er. Araña means chandelier? Tea translated to merianda instead of té, this actually makes sense to me as a northern brit, but who else is going to think tea means snack time? Weird words with weird uses and not in a fun way, in an ai slop kinda way. #duolingo

"...and our electricity here comes from a renewable source ... nuclear ..." Let me just stop you there. You don't need an Oxford degree to know Nuclear might be low carbon (construction depending) but it aint and can't physically *be* renewable. Unless those clever boffins have figured out how to break entropy and rejoin U235 atoms. time code 7:28 #energy #electricity

Ugh, I was mostly on side but then it went all libertarian techbro-privilege on the topic of creating net-neutrality by systematically forbidding server moderation. As seductive as mechanisms of fair-play replacing human relationships is; Just No. That and the contrived centrism he's offering bsky. The bad false equivalence to ActivityPub is a real tow curler. What a duff ending to an otherwise good talk. @npub1ma3a...zykq @npub1fdrp...lvhs

We do a group photo when we do an #inkscape event. This year because I had to attend remotely; I've added myself into the photo. You can barely notice I wasn't actually there! #lgm #conference #photo #Nuremberg #vectorArt
